Secret of PctrifactioD

Forty years ago there died in Padua
the physician and chemist, G.. b. Masse-
daglia, who had succeeded in petrifyinG
several animal bodies, which he be-
queathed to the University museum. To
his win he had attached sealed letter
containing the secret of his method OF
petrification, which was only to be di-
'vulged to his legal heirs. Until recently
all search for the heirs of DIR. Massedaglia
remained fruitless, but they have at last
beed discovered, and are offered very
large sums for the secret, which, how
ever, they refuse to disclose for tho

The British Sailors Dinner.

At 1:45 the bugle calls the cooks to
The galley, and at noon the sailor gets his
dinner. The arrangements are much the
same as on the training ship. The mess
never exceeds twenty and is in charge of
petty officer, who is responsible for the
mess traps. There are two cooks, one in
each watch, and the boys are divided
among the messes and have to do most of
the cleaning and polishing, it being the
watch bellows duty to keep things
straight. Let us take the Minotaur OH o
boiled beef day. The galley is master
piece of compactness, in which every
inch of heating space is utilized. On
one side the cooks are standing for their
meat, which is picked out Of q copper
with huge three pronged fork and
licked off by the steward as it is dropped
into the mess tin. The soup comes pour
ing out of a tap about two inches in
diameter into a half tub that may hold
some forty gallons, from which it finds
its way into the cans, one for each mess.
As the meat is scored off, so is the soup.
A sailors victualing allowance is
liberal one. He has each day q pound
and quarter of biscuit or a pound and O
half of soft bread, two ounces Of sugar,
one ounce of chocolate, quarter ounce
of tea. When fresh provisions can be
had-which is always when in port, and
for at least two days afterwards-he has
pound of fresh meat and half q pound
OF vegetables. When he is at sea he has
o pound of salt pork or salt beef, or three
quarters of pound of preserved meat
and certain quantities of split peas, flour,
suet, raisins, rice, or preserved potato, de-
pendent on circumstances, all having in
terchangeable values. Sometimes he may
have mixed vegetables, or dholl, OF even
calavances, which are kind of bean. In
some ships he has coffee at about D
o'clock, but then he has to pay for it
himself.-Ncw York Graphic.

Theory Concerning Gray Hair.

have theory regarding preventing
gray hair which think is new. At least
/ have not heard anybody else advance it.
1t is this. that when the head is attacked
by disease either one of three things must
give way: the brain, the hair or the color
of the hair. If the hair gives way the
man becomes bald; if the color of the
hair yields then prematurely gray hair is
induced. 1t is easy to see that either OF
these results is preferable to the failure OF
the brain, and of all three it is better that
the hair should turn gray than that the
brain should weaken or the subject be-
come bald. Young men with gray hail
may find considerable consolation in this
theory of mine if they cannot find any
thing else in it.-Dr. G. III. Hughes III

A woman,s Temper.

If / want to tell woman's temper ]
watch her eyelids. You can read man
the same way, but not 80 readily. A
woman with fiery temper will move her
eyelids with snap, and that snap be-
trays her. Another who is easy going
and hard to arouse moves her eyelids
languidly. One with quick brain and
q temper furious when aroused just winks
steadily, but neither quickly nor slowly,

Two valuab,. church Bells.

There are two church bells at Messilla,
Mexico, that are valuable. They were
cast in 1775, and it is said that just before
the casting was made at least $1,000

dropped into the molten mass of metal by
the devout, who thought thus to propiti-

FORGING FOR LOVE.
She came out and He Goes INA
Romance.

There is very interesting case OF forg-
ing on the Police Court docket, which
will come up for examination on Monday

imprisonment OF one May Adams, a
"chippy," but the details OF the second
acts of the affair have not yet been pub.
lished. 1t appears that May had lover,
and that when he became aware that
she was pining away in prison cell, he
became ambitious to release her and
take her to his bosom rs his
wife. Not having the wherewith to
accomplish this, the bold youth de-
cided to become disciple OF Barney
Hughes, and his plan worked to per(ec-
ton. BY writing the name Of the famous
Road House Nelson on a $50 order, he
succeeded in drawing that amount from
John Gurrans, and by paying it over to
the city, he secured the release of his
love.
Before the fair May had been out OF
Jail more than second or two, she con-
scented to become the bride of her rescuer
and the duo became one. All went well
until Nelson, who had deposited
the $50 with Gurrans went to draw
the amount and was told how it had been
disposed Of An investigation fixed the
guilt upon one Michael Castillo, and
Mike turned out to be none other than
the valiant resCucr Of the chdrmdnt
chjppie.
This morning CASTILLO was arrested and
sent to occupy the bunk in the city jail
which had so recently been deserted by

A tender love story peryades the
drama, in which Mr. Grismer, as
Mark Stanley, Captain Mass. Vols, is
the hero, and Miss Davies as Ruth Ceyton,
daughter of a Confederate guerrilla col

splendid opportunity for some fine acting
During the progress of the drama, which
is replete with comedy and pathos, some
beautiful tabeaux, depicting battle scenes
and marches, are given; also the old war
and camp songs. To make these tab
leak realistic, full corps of supernumer-
les has been engaged.
As Captain of the Volunteers Mr.. Girls

possible, states this informant, that some
persons other than General Crook and
Colonel Hall will be found ut fault bv the

statement, General Crook left others to
do what he was directed himself to per
torm-locate the post on suitable site.
